Melanie's No-Bake Cookies
"My favorite cookie by far. This is the recipe my mom used when I was growing up. I bet it was my grandma's too. I use a little less oats than what it calls for; the cookie looks chocolaty and shinier, just the way I like 'em."

I live in Morgantown, WV with my husband Bill and our children; Lauren, Leanna and Zachariah. I love to cook/bake and my children say I'm the best cook ever and that I should have my own cooking show. Hhmm, there's a thought!
